A COVENTRY company is set for a smooth ride after agreeing a deal to supply suspension parts to a prestigious automotive firm.

GME Springs, which is based in Boston Place, Holbrooks, has agreed an impressive deal to supply sports car manufacturer the Morgan Motor Company with specially designed springs for use in its car suspension systems.

The engineering firm has also produced a state-of-the-art suspension design which has been presented to directors at Morgan for them to consider using in the company’s vehicles in the future.

Marcus Gerrard, of GME Springs, said he was delighted to add the Morgan Motor Company to their already impressive list of automotive clients.

“We were delighted to have been approached by a company as prestigious as Morgan and we feel our involvement with them is a glowing endorsement of the high standard of our products,” he said.

“As an original equipment manufacturer it is extremely gratifying to see our springs being used in vehicles of this undoubted quality.

“We are now looking forward to working closely with Morgan for a long time to come.”

GME, which also has offices in Birmingham, Scotland and Sheffield, will supply the parts directly to the Morgan Motor Company factory in Malvern, Worcestershire.

Greg Dixon-Smith, supply chain manager for the Morgan Motor Company, said: “GME supply leaf springs for our classic range of cars, which is something we have done for more than 100 years now, so leaf springs have been a long part of our history.

“The quality has got to be good in order to get the right handling on the car, so if we get the right quality springs we continue using them, and we get that from GME Springs.

“The service we get from them is brilliant and they are cost effective. They do the job properly, reliably and at the right price and it all arrives on the day even when ordered 12 months in advance.”

The Morgan Motor Company has a long established history at its Pickersleigh Road factory having been based there since 1918, and the firm prides itself on a reputation for producing high quality vehicles.

Mr Dixon-Smith added: “We are constantly working to improve our model range as well as discover new markets and produce new products and search for cutting-edge technology.

“But we always stick to our craftsmanship and continually try to improve on the quality of our product in order to produce better and better for our customers who expect the highest standards.”
